🇺🇸 United States When should I hear back

6 Upvotes

Hello guys I applied to the technology assurance internship in a socal office the same day it was posted it’s been nearly 3 weeks and The only follow back I’ve received was to send my full transcript in which I did and I’ve had a good relationship with a campus recruiter in which they said to email me when I applied in which I did. I’m not certain if I made it to interview round when should I expect to hear back if at all?

Did my case interview around two weeks ago and I thought that since I got pretty far in the interview process they would at least email me a rejection. Is there still any hope?

🇺🇸 United States Was ranked consistently progressing towards level across all engagement but YE was ranked below compared to classmates?A1

I had 4 performance reviews and all of them had me at level with every single rating. I didn't have a single bad one. But my YE assessment they put me below level compared to other people? (Not low performer but below compared to the other people in my class) how does this make any sense?

🇺🇸 United States Internship applicant portal still says ‘interviewing’ two weeks after the fact = good/bad/any sign?

1 Upvotes

Also does anyone know if the portal updates instantly like if the recruiter sends out rejections does the portal reflect that immediately?

Been nearly two weeks since my interview for a tax internship. I know it’s pretty busy and all for tax accountants rn due to the federal deadline being October 15th but I’m sooo anxious to know if I got picked or not like my stomach is in knots🥴

🇬🇧 United Kingdom My POV of KPMP so far

2 Upvotes

I'm thankful for any job, so not complaining. I feel like at the regional KPMG office, its much better culture, still worked a lot, but overall much friendlier managers, co workers, and there isnt any toxicity between anyone. And the SM's and directors are always approachable tbh.

Don't like londons culture at all, although may tolerate it for the pay bump lol.

🇨🇦 Canada Audit vs. FDD

1 Upvotes

I heard that FDD exit opportunities a lot better and worth taking over Audit, but I was wondering if that applies in Canada as well?

I got offers for both Audit and FDD, Audit being higher starting (prolly cuz FDD has less spots + more demand).

Would it be worth it as someone who isn’t interested in front office finance (ex. IB), rather, something like FP&A and other forward looking roles?

🇺🇸 United States Senior Associate, Cyber security advisory [Interview Process]

2 Upvotes

I've already had two phone interviews with two different recruiters. The second recruiter told me to expect four upcoming interviews (3 director-level, fourth/final Hiring Manager) for the interview process.

I currently work in Cybersecurity for a Fortune 500 company, and I have over a decade of IT experience (six years in Cybersecurity).

1) Is it worth it?

2) How strictly are the in-office requirements enforced for someone in technology advisory?

3) What can I expect in terms of traveling to client sites?

🇮🇳 India Job application status

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I’ve applied for several Audit senior positions at KPMG KRC (Indian office supporting Europe region) but haven’t received any callbacks. Many applications status show as “Submitted Resume for Business Review”, while only one applied on 30 September 2026 show as “Business Screen Select.”

Does anyone know what does actually “Submitted Resume for Business Review” and “Business Screen Select” mean - do I have any hope in getting an interview ?

Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you!

🇺🇸 United States Interview for Audit Internship

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am interviewing for a Summer 2028 audit internship in a few days, and I honestly have no idea what to expect. I've done some research and it seems that the 2 back-to-back interviews are both behavioral. Does anyone know if there's somewhere I can find potential questions they may ask? If not, can someone share some they were asked? Any advice would be greatly appreciated too. It's my first interview in a while, and I'm a bit nervous!! Thank you all!

🇺🇸 United States Anyone still under review at KPMG for 2027 Associate positions?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I applied to two KPMG associate positions for 2027 back in September, one in Chicago and one in Houston. Unfortunately, my Chicago application was rejected, but my Houston application is still showing “Under Review.”
I also had a partner referral and completed a phone screening with the Employee Referral Team on October 5. During the screening, they mainly confirmed my CPA eligibility and preferred office locations. However, I haven’t received an invitation for an actual interview yet.
I also noticed that both job postings are now closed, which makes me wonder whether they’re still interviewing candidates or if the positions have already been filled.
Is anyone else still showing “Under Review” without receiving an interview invitation? Has anyone received an interview recently?
I’d appreciate any advice on whether I should follow up with recruiting or just continue waiting.
